Afraid so. That reminds me: IIRC in the Dune universe they eventually abandon all technology. I wonder if we're on that track for real.
But I think Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons would fit better.
Only in the terrible prequels written by Frank Herbert's idiot son, who decided that a rejection of machines replacing humans = literal Terminators.
One of the more interesting things about the Butlerian Jihad is that in the end, without thinking machines, they instead turned humans into machines.
Yes, and this is often overlooked.
The question if we should turn machines into humans or vice versa, and that there is no third option.
